Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: portmap
This is related, but not the same, as bug #672177
portmap should be stopped as soon as it is no longer needed, which is
right after NFS filesystems are unmounted. The unmounting is done by
unmountnfs.sh from sysvinit. It properly defines an LSB header to say
that portmap should be stopped after it. The trouble is that nothing
interprets this header anymore as upstart does not support this method
of shutdown.
When libc6 is upgraded, this means portmap keeps /lib/libc.so.xxxxx
open, and so / cannot be remounted as readonly, causing filesystem
corruption (this was reported in the comments of bug #672177 by "ingo".
So portmap should define an event to stop on and sysvinit should emit
that event when it happens.
